"The simple way to a leaner, stronger, greener lifestyle. "The greatest thing we can do in life is to be a beacon for positive change. Show how amazing we can be!"." - Jon Hinds, Founder Monkey Bar Gym

15/15 x 30 minutes???? YES!!! And 1 awesome Kale recipe!

Got to say this is the best MBG Training cycle we've ever done! Todays workout was insane! Made even more insane by the fact Jess and i wanted to add in more bodyweight to the mix today and totally crushed ourselves:) haha Ah well now we get to rest and recover til monday!WHAT IS THE GOAL OF YOUR TRAINING? To look a certain way? To be connected to your body and mind? To feel amazing, happy and healthier than ever? Or to feel a part of something amazing? OR TO HAVE IT ALL?
Well my friends....i think alot about training, why i love it so, why i opened my Monkey Bar Gym and why it is such an amazing place....because it is true and honest, it's simple, strong, a place all can come to and feel a part of something special and positive for people and planet. It is crazy....The VIBE goin on right now at the MBG's is what i dreamed about over 11 years ago when i first opened....seeing the love people have for teaching and training at MBG's is priceless. Just loving it my friends:) Just been smiling so much lately i had to share that with you all:) hahaMBG 1 - yesterday taught Eischens Yoga class, at the end of class doing alot of partner feedback and all had a huge jump in ROM doing back domes. Starting to get to full arms and legs extension now which feels great after. NOTE: having full ROM on back dome is a huge sign of overall health in the body as you cannot do this pose if you have tight hips or shoulders and being that those two areas are the most common areas of trouble for most people. SO make sure you do your EY and work towards getting a full back dome my friends for your a healthy body and mind!!:)MBG 2 - todays 15/15 with a twist!

15/15 x 5 minutes of cleans and presses x 36k's x 2 sets of 2 a minute for 20 total reps...not too over the top:) a good start to the cycle for this workout!

Then we changed things up a bit and did a 15/15 version of the Bar-barian workout ...yeah i know but i love bodyweight training what can i say:) and i had some good number on this from 11.2.11 but i was tired a bit last time i did it so i wanted to beat those numbers...SO

What an awesome workout!! Felt alot stronger today and it showed 223 to 289 reps!!!MBG 3 - RECIPE OF THE DAY: Kale Salad - after cleaning chop up head of kale, add chopped tomatoes, onions and almonds, toss with some balsamic vinaigrette...eat lots of this!!!

Green Drink

Bengal spice tea, rice milk, stevia

soaked oats, blueberries, banana, walnuts, lifes basics

Was wondering if you might have a specific training program that can best fast track someone to a full back dome?

I can now get my head off the floor, but can't get any further than that. Been doing EY regularly with supine bridges, plus been trying back dome with feet on a chair (to get a fuller ROM), but still 'stuck' where I've been for the last 6 months.

hey colin, do this daily and get massive change:do back dome, then do supine bridge with partner feedback on hands...then do back dome again (should be greater ROM)...then do sphinx pose with partner feedback on inner elbows..then back dome again. This dramatically improves ROM of back dome in about 2 minutes....done daily HUGE gains!! tell me how it goes okay!!

Okay, you've probably seen someone do this on a street sign somewhere and wished you could do it:)
Well you can:) and here is 5 steps to help you do the Flagpole:Lock out the arms: wide enough on a pole either vertical (thumbs in) or horizontal (palms in)Keeping arms locked, walk feet out about 3 feet from barJump Legs out (bent legs first) following one of the two methods:Either jump bent legs up higher than parallel as i'm doing in the video and then lower as control allowsOr, jump bent legs up to parallel and try to hold them...this is how i learned Do reps of kicking up to parallel and slowly lowering down and THEN kicking up to parallel and holding for as many seconds as possible with knees bent.Progress to straightening your legs: THIS is the Official Flagpole and done properly and 100% parallel to the floor is challenging BUT doing it at any angle and holding the legs/body off the ground is a GREAT START so keep practicing!!:)This is how i learned and practiced and afte…

Hey my friends, well it's Step 2 of my Handstand Walking tutorial....it's basic, simple stuff but you know what it works GREAT in getting new folks not only into a handstand, but doing Handstand walking! How well does it work? Well at just one CNT course a few years back we got all 23 students into holding a Handstand within 20 minutes....and that's 23 who had never even tried a handstand before!! Out of that 23, we then got 15 to walk on their hands in the next 5 minutes....no problem. So simple works just liket we teach at our Certified Natural Training (CNT) courses!!

SO, last week i showed you how to do step 1 in my Handstand Walking tutorial....just simply doing proper lateral handstand walking on the floor. Again, No Experience Necessary!

At the Monkey Bar Gym we do everything in 3 levels:
Stability / Strength / Power.
So for this weeks Handstand Walking Tutorial we'll begin at the 2nd step.....IF you can do the 1st step for 30 yards (15 yards each way with out s…

How do you assist Free Handstand push ups by yourself? Watch and try!!
You know when you say i'm gonna have a fun day of eating...or a cheat day? Well jess and i thought lets do this on sunday...it was fun, did not feel like cheating cause we felt good about it (important!) and nothing was really that bad....some multigrain pancakes, then we split a danish roll, a cookie and then a cupcake...or two:). Now although it was all still vegan, that really does not make a difference as all of the above was alot of processed foods, sat oils and tons of sugar!...the result come monday mornings workout....crap!:) Whew it was rough, neither of us slept well and the effect continued most of the day with lethargic training and generally a dull mood all day...lesson: If you're gonna have a cheat/fun meal or day do it with an off day of training afterwards. For example i usually train m-f... so saturday fun meal or day would of been a wiser choice so it does not interfere with your upcoming …
